Alan Moore

Real life is messy, inconsistent, and it's seldom when anything ever really gets resolved. It's taken me a long time to realize that.

To me, all creativity is magic. Ideas start out in the empty void of your head - and they end up as a material thing, like a book you can hold in your hand. That is the magical process. It's an alchemical thing. Yes, we do get the gold out of it but that's not the most important thing. It's the work itself.

There is no future. There is no past. Do you see? Time is simultaneous, an intricately structured jewel that humans insist on viewing one edge at a time, when the whole design is visible in every facet.

We're all puppets, Laurie. I'm just a puppet who can see the strings.

All we ever see of stars are their old photographs.

We have laboured long to build a heaven, only to find it populated with horrors.

Well, what do you expect? The Comedian is dead.

If light is outlawed, then only outlaws will be able to see where they're going.

Look at him now, poor fellow. That's what a dose of reality does for you...Never touch the stuff myself, you understand. Find it gets in the way of the hallucinations.
